Another day of driving tours has been added to this year’s HMF. The “One Lap of the Mountains Classic” is for vintage classic cars and “One Lap of the Mountains Speciale” is for all other interesting cars.
These guided drives will be on Thursday, June 11, and are shorter than Friday’s “One Lap of the Mountains Grande.” All driving tours depart and return to Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park and have a scheduled lunch stop.
This year’s Gala event will have a new theme “Welcome Soiree – An Evening of Cuba.” Along with Cuban food and drink, there will be a presentation, “The Cars of Cuba,” by renowned automotive authority Bill Warner. Warner’s many achievements include being the chairman and founder of the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and author of a new book, Cuba’s Car Culture. The event will conclude with a charity auction of items donated by local business and individuals.
Saturday’s car show in Kelsey Hutchinson Park has become “Cars in the Park Invitational.” All cars exhibited on Saturday will be invited through an application process available at the HMF website. The show cars will be selected to provide diverse and interesting groupings of vehicles for public viewing.
